Dymag carbon fiber wheels



I found these Dymag carbon fiber wheels on a Porsche GT3 a while back. It was the first time I saw carbon fiber wheels and I thought the kevlar weave was a nice touch with the yellow brake calipers. The lug nuts could use some pimping, though.

Nismo Japan carbon fiber bucket seats for the GTR - $28k!


$27950 for a carbon fiber seat package for the Nissan GTR. Wow. At least you get two seats and you can make your regular GTR look like the Spec-V.

The limited edition-ness is what's interesting. These seats must be installed by Nismo in Japan. A regular person can't just order them from Japan. You pretty much have to have your car in Japan.


I found these seats on GT-RR.com, one of the biggest importers of Nissan GTR products. Then can get them...and at this price, it's a potential loss for them!

If you're going to buy these seats, maybe buy a $28k Nismo titanium exhaust?
